Jesus....I know modern cars crumple for safety, but how the hell could you get enough speed in a parking garage to do that???

You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).
Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.
Rules:
- No deaths or serious injuries because who would be around to get told they couldn't park there?
- Be excellent to each other

See my comment elsewhere, 0-60 in 4.5 or less paired with launch control which is a standing start assist for racing and such.
If you drive like a complete twat, it’s probably easy.
Holy fuck. That car looks like the Terminator T1000 when his head gets split in half
You've got to admire how safe modern cars are. And also the pillar looks so unbothered it's impressive.
BMW could use this as a safety ad.
Is this real? I mean that man must be a fucking twat + idiot, but doesn't he deserve medical treatment? Concern? Mock and shame him afterwards as much as he deserves, but show some care? Wtf is this dystopian shit.
The ambulance is likely on the way, may be fighting traffic. It doesnt look like its a "need an ambulance or someone WILL die" scene, the ambulance can take its time.
how drunk was this guy?
From the original thread, there were a couple comments that shed light on what possibly happened:
@ramble81@lemmy.zip
That was a BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar
And then @sergio@piefed.social came through with the link for launch control:
Launch control is an electronic aid to assist drivers of both racing and street cars to accelerate from a standing start. Motorcycles have been variously fitted with mechanical and electronic devices for both street and race.
Alcohol may have played a part in his decision to do that
Alcohol? The performance enhancer?
Idk but you can see him sitting next to the car not doing much
yea that’s why i ask, he looks unsteady but that could all be just shock and maybe the bad driving was due to age
hit the accelerator instead of the brake kinda thing
The silly old fart is probably drunk and crying over wrecking his ego extender
It’s like a chestbuster jumped out of the car.
Cool exploded view of an engine.
Shit's wild, it took me until the third watch to figure out where the engine went.
